The developed Christology should describe that Christ as the incarnate form of Allah can be found in the realm of agriculture. Christ presents in nature (Panentheism) becomes increasingly context for Javanese farmer community, Christology which emphasize Jesus as incarnation form, Jesus is the compassion of God, Jesus is the political act of God's love which experienced by Javanese farmer community.

Христология строится на меж- текстовом и межкультурном взаимодействии. С учетом культурного контек- ста, чтобы христология могла развиваться широко и всегда, важно направить изучение на поиск динамики ее развития в контексте сообщества яванских фермеров. Исследование дает важные выводы о христологии. Христологиче- ское мышление, которое всегда развивается в зависимости от времени, мо- жет развиваться в контексте яванских фермерских общин. Миф о Деви Шри (и Садоно) и Рату Адиле, который укоренился в сообществе яванских ферме- ров, можно считать развитием особой христологии в сообществе яванских фермеров. Христология может описывать Христа как воплощенную форму Аллаха, которая присутствует в том числе в сфере сельского хозяйства. То, что Христос присутствует в природе (панентеизм), становится все более развитым контекстом для яванского фермерского сообщества, христология подчерки- вает Иисуса как форму воплощения, Иисус — сострадание Бога, Иисус — по- литический акт Божьей любви, которые переживает яванская фермерская община. Это открытие полезно для усилий по развитию христианской церкви в контексте сельскохозяйственного общества на острове Яве.

Listijabudi Introduction Christology is the important parts in Christian life. Then there is no Christianity without a Christology, or without a Christology, there is any Christianity anymore. The starting point of Christology must be constructed from awareness and understanding of context and text. Christology is the effort to find the answer on Christ’s description in human life which always experiences the development. If Christology wants to still lives, so Christology must local, this is a talk of Christ to answer the problems of the Local Church based on Christian Tradition (Hayon, 2006). In the tradition, Christology must build based on inter-textual and intercultural. By Banawiratma, Christology thus called contextual Christology (notice the context) (Banawiratma, 2009). Contextual Christology is Christology who does not defends them in one particular culture but opens themselves up to various cultures in which the faith community lives and develops. Christ can be known from several cultural contexts (Banawiratma, 2018). With notice the cultural context, so Christology can be developed itself widely and always up to date. The growth and development of Christ community in several community layer itself have the unique and typical culture. Jesus Christ was born in the context of Jewish and Hellenistic culture, and after a long history, finally arrived at various ethnic groups and nations around the world. Whether realize it or not actually Christology a value (gospel) to these nations has gone through various cultures. Learn from Korean community with Minjung Christology, India with Christology Dalit, Philippine with Christology of Struggle and USA with Black Christology in accordance with the community character, hence it is also very open to the possibility of developing a Christology in the peasant society in Java. In order to develop a Christology in Javanese farmer community, it is necessary to ask some important questions, namely: What is meant by Christology? What was the basis for the development of a Christology in the peasant society in Java? How to develop the Christology in Javanese farmer community? The following description, will discuss one by one the problems mentioned above. Discussion In the simple concepts, Christology can be defined as the form description of Christ Emanuel Gerrit Singgih, "Lingkaran Teologi Praktis Sebagai Model Berteologi Kontekstual di Indonesia", in (Soleiman, Ongirwalu, & Raintung, 2014). The description of Jesus Christ is same in the Christians it is not always the same past, today and future. The description regarding Christ has the changes or development, and going through his own history, with not only before execution as political and religious troublemaker in Palestine, especially after those accident. Even Christology itself began sticking out and growing after the event of His resurrection. The point of the Christology that was proclaimed by ancient church first of all it is not about Christ teaching and working (the historical Jesus), but Jesus, who was crucified, died and then rise (Kis 4:10) Darwin Lumbang Tobing, "Kristologi Non-Apologetis, Kristtologi Hermeneutis di dalam konteks Postmodern", in (Yewangoe & et al, 2004). Starting from the activity of the Church in conveying the mystery of the passion, death and resurrection of Jesus, what is called a Christology has emerged, which represents a picture of who Jesus of Nazareth really is. Thus, can be understood that Christology in essence is an understanding and testimony of faith expressed through theological reflection. Christology is a branch of theology, especially Developing Christology in the Javanese Farmer Communities 140 dogmatic theology (Dister, 1987; Haight, 1999). Because, Christology is build in the theological process, with the reflection of faith, analysis and synthesis of human thinking, so the Christology formula can also be positioned as a theological formula. Christology is logos (knowledge) about Christ, thoughts (and words) about Jesus Christ, a reflection of Christian belief. Thus are the several examples of Christian faith reflections: 1) How can Christians, might and should conceptualize and formulate their faith in Jesus Christ, which must remain the same? 2) How do Christians think of Jesus Christ, His position and role in the saving system, both past, present and future? 3) And how do Christians who are 2000 years old try to think about Jesus Christ, conceptualize and formulate Him in the present? From those question shows that Jesus Christ has been and will always be through His history. Christology trying to give the meaning of the Christian faith makes the Church really live and shows its existence in its day (Hayon, 2006). Although Jesus Christ is still the same, yesterday, now and forever, but human thoughts, including human which believe to Christ is not the same yesterday, today and tomorrow. The history has proofed those truths. Christians who located in several place and over time always think of the same Christ and even in the same way, can produces the concept and illustration of Christ in different. From the very

  • The Practice of Pencak Silat in West Java
    The Politics of Inner Power: The Practice of Pencak Silat in West Java By Ian Douglas Wilson Ph.D. Thesis School of Asian Studies Murdoch University Western Australia 2002 Declaration This is my own account of the research and contains as its main content, work which has not been submitted for a degree at any university Signed, Ian Douglas Wilson Abstract Pencak silat is a form of martial arts indigenous to the Malay derived ethnic groups that populate mainland and island Southeast Asia. Far from being merely a form of self- defense, pencak silat is a pedagogic method that seeks to embody particular cultural and social ideals within the body of the practitioner. The history, culture and practice of pencak in West Java is the subject of this study. As a form of traditional education, a performance art, a component of ritual and community celebrations, a practical form of self-defense, a path to spiritual enlightenment, and more recently as a national and international sport, pencak silat is in many respects unique. It is both an integrative and diverse cultural practice that articulates a holistic perspective on the world centering upon the importance of the body as a psychosomatic whole. Changing socio-cultural conditions in Indonesia have produced new forms of pencak silat. Increasing government intervention in pencak silat throughout the New Order period has led to the development of nationalized versions that seek to inculcate state-approved values within the body of the practitioner. Pencak silat groups have also been mobilized for the purpose of pursuing political aims. Some practitioners have responded by looking inwards, outlining a path to self-realization framed by the powers, flows and desires found within the body itself.

    12 The Once and Future King: Utopianism as Political Practice in Indonesia El pasado y futuro rey: utopismo como práctica política en Indonesia Thomas Anton Reuter Abstract A centuries-old practice persists on the island of Java, Indonesia, whereby utopian prophecies are used not only to critique the socio-political order of the day but also to outline an ideal form of government for the future. The prophecy text is attributed to a 12th century king, Jayabaya. This historical figure is celebrated as a ‘just king’ (ratu adil) and as an incarnation of the Hindu God Vishnu, who is said to manifest periodically in human form to restore the world to order and prosperity. The prophecy predicts the present ‘time of madness’ (jaman edan) will culminate in a major crisis, followed by a restoration of cosmic harmony within a utopian society. Not unlike the work of Thomas More, and the genre of western utopian literature in general, the political concepts outlined in this Indonesian literary tradition have been a perennial source of inspiration for political change. Keywords: imagination, Indonesia, Java, prophecy, time, utopian literature.

As a Javanese prince who took the title of Ratu Adil (Just King), he owned many weapons and other objects considered pusaka (sacred heirloom). Both during the War itself, when some were captured by Dutch commanders, and afterwards, when the prince’s personal collection of pusaka weapons were distributed among his children, a number of the pusaka in his possession still remained and many would subsequently be dispersed in collections all over the world. One of these pusaka has only recently surfaced. For a long time it had remained with the descendants of Jean Chrétien Baud (1789-1859), a post-Java War Governor-General (in office 1834-1836), after an interim period (1833-1834). In 1834 Baud went on an inspection tour, with the purpose of affirming Dutch power on the island and to check that the recently imposed Cultivation System (cultuurstelsel) was working properly.

  • Tracing the Concept of Political Leadership of Islam Nusantara
    Journal of Malay Islamic Studies Vol. 1 No. 1, June 2017 TRACING THE CONCEPT OF POLITICAL LEADERSHIP OF ISLAM NUSANTARA Zaki Faddad Faculty of Ushluddin and Islamic Thought Universitas Islam Negeri Raden Fatah Palembang, Indonesia E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Certain community both based ethnicities and nationalities have different characteristics on the notion of political leadership. Studies on the political leadership concept in Indonesia cannot escape from the Javanese political leadership characteristics. The reason is simply, because most of Indonesian leaders are from Java. Ben Anderson (1990) sees the Sukarno and Suharto leadership as the representation of Islamic Mataram Kingdom that was absolute and totalitarian typical leadership. Then, it follows cultural stereotyping of political leadership based on ethnicity in Indonesia. Jajat Burhanuddin (2014) sees that Melayu has democratic political culture, while Jawa has authoritarian political culture based on the creed “Manunggaling Kawula Gusti” – Unity between God-ruler or Subject-ruler. However Burhanuddin (2014) does not explain the nature of the creed in Javanese typical political leadership. Naim (2014) controversially sees that there are bipolar characteristics of political leadership in Indonesia. Jawa has absolute and totalitarian typical leadership that is influenced by Javanese local belief; otherwise Melayu (Outside Jawa) has egalitarian and democratic political leadership that is strong influenced by Islamic teaching. This paper tries to dig the understanding of principles on political leadership in Indonesia by making comparison both Jawa and Melayu on the nature of political leadership. The paper engages Talal Asad (2009) conceptual frameworks on discursive tradition. Thus from Asad point of view political leadership is the result of a dynamic process between agency and structure.

    Shadow Boxing: Indonesian W riters and the Ramayana in the New Order' Marshall Clark Introduction This article is a study of the ideas, visions, and styles of a number of Indonesia's writers in the New Order—in particular, the final years of the New Order—who chose to rework and reinterpret the Ramayana epic of the Javanese wayang kulit shadow puppet theatre. The deliberate choice by these writers to use Indonesian as their medium of linguistic communication has proven to be a decision in favor of distancing themselves from their mother-tongue, Javanese, and of targeting a larger "national" audience, thus signaling their concern for non-Javanese Indonesians. By the same token, the Indonesian language of wayang literary representations was often heavily Javanese in its flavor and style, and the indigenized wayang characters and plots appropriated were also, naturally, very much regional in origin. Belonging to Indonesia's small yet influential political class, the target of these writers was, generally, middle-class public opinion, which they attempted to both reflect and shape. However, although the target of these writers was the Indonesian middle class, their allegiance was overwhelmingly with the non-elite and subordinate groups in Indonesian society. Yet, how can an appropriation of the wayang's feudal world of kings, queens, princes, princesses, demons, and servants possibly express an allegiance with Indonesia's "non-elite"? The answer to this question lies in the feudal kawula-gusti (servant-lord/master) ethos, one of the most basic assumptions of 1 1 1 would like to thank Virginia Hooker, Keith Foulcher, Barbara Hatley, and Benedict Anderson, in particular, for reading earlier versions of this article, which has been significantly improved as a result of their detailed comments.

    Uga Wangsit Siliwangi Terjemahan bebas Uga Wangsit Siliwangi. Prabu Siliwangi berpesan pada warga Pajajaran yang ikut mundur pada waktu beliau sebelum menghilang : “Perjalanan kita hanya sampai disini hari ini, walaupun kalian semua setia padaku! Tapi aku tidak boleh membawa kalian dalam masalah ini, membuat kalian susah, ikut merasakan miskin dan lapar. Kalian boleh memilih untuk hidup kedepan nanti, agar besok lusa, kalian hidup senang kaya raya dan bisa mendirikan lagi Pajajaran! Bukan Pajajaran saat ini tapi Pajajaran yang baru yang berdiri oleh perjalanan waktu! Pilih! aku tidak akan melarang, sebab untukku, tidak pantas jadi raja yang rakyatnya lapar dan miskin.” Dengarkan! Yang ingin tetap ikut denganku, cepat memisahkan diri ke selatan! Yang ingin kembali lagi ke kota yang ditinggalkan, cepat memisahkan diri ke utara! Yang ingin berbakti kepada raja yang sedang berkuasa, cepat memisahkan diri ke timur! Yang tidak ingin ikut siapa-siapa, cepat memisahkan diri ke barat! Dengarkan! Kalian yang di timur harus tahu: Kekuasaan akan turut dengan kalian! dan keturunan kalian nanti yang akan memerintah saudara kalian dan orang lain. Tapi kalian harus ingat, nanti mereka akan memerintah dengan semena-mena. Akan ada pembalasan untuk semua itu. Silahkan pergi! Kalian yang di sebelah barat! Carilah oleh kalian Ki Santang! Sebab nanti, keturunan kalian yang akan mengingatkan saudara kalian dan orang lain. Ke saudara sedaerah, ke saudara yang datang sependirian dan semua yang baik hatinya. Suatu saat nanti, apabila tengah malam, dari gunung Halimun terdengar suara minta tolong, nah itu adalah tandanya. Semua keturunan kalian dipanggil oleh yang mau menikah di Lebak Cawéné. Jangan sampai berlebihan, sebab nanti telaga akan banjir! Silahkan pergi! Ingat! Jangan menoleh kebelakang! Kalian yang di sebelah utara! Dengarkan!

  • KERAJAAN ALLAH DALAM DUA WAJAH Datangnya Ratu Adil Dan Kerajaan Allah
    Vol. 03, No. 02, November 2014, hlm. 99-109 KERAJAAN ALLAH DALAM DUA WAJAH Datangnya Ratu Adil dan Kerajaan Allah Stepanus Istata Raharjo ABSTRACT: The javanese mysticism (Kejawen) reflects a kind of messianic idea of a just king (Ratu Adil) that can be compared to the notion of "God's reign" in Christianity. The concept of "Ratu Adil" had inevitably influenced javanese customs, language system as well as various ritual traditions. Considering that the Kejawen itself is a mixture of various elements from different religious systems (such as Hinduism, Buddhism, and Islam), it is neccessary to trace back sources or traditions, from which the notion of Ratu Adil had been developed. This article aims to discuss and to compare the understanding of "Ratu Adil" with the notion of "God's reign". Kata-Kata Kunci: Kerajaan Allah, Ratu Adil, kejawen, tradisi Kristiani. 1. PENGANTAR penalaran artikel ini disusun sebagai berikut. Pertama-tama akan dipaparkan konsep “kejawen” Kerajaan Allah telah hadir di tengah-tengah yang menjadi latar belakang bagi konsep “Ratu kita, tetapi kepenuhannya masih dinantikan. Ia Adil” yang dipahami oleh tradisi Jawa. Selan- sudah dan sekaligus belum. Ia hadir dalam diri jutnya menyusul konsep Kerajaan Allah dalam Yesus dengan pewartaan dan karya-karya-Nya tradisi Kristiani (Kitab Suci). Pada bagian akhir namun kepenuhannya tetap dinantikan hari dan ditampilkan analisis kritis terhadap konsep “Ratu saatnya. Itulah sebabnya Kerajaan Allah boleh Adil” dan “Kerajaan Allah”. Dengan kata lain, disebut tampil dalam “dua wajah”. Wajah yang artikel ini ditulis dengan menggunakan metode pertama hadir dalam diri Yesus, ketika Ia analisis kritis. berkata: “Waktunya telah genap; Kerajaan Allah sudah dekat.

Kade Sri Yudarioleh: | Ni Wayan Karmini [email protected] | [email protected] Pascasarjana Universitas Hindu Indonesia Denpasar Proses Review 10-28 Maret, Dinyatakan Lolos 2 April Abstract The discourse of ‘the Fair Queen of Satria Piningit and Crazy Times’ has never disappeared from the minds and recesses of the Indonesian people. This paper is only aas an expression of concern over the chaotic phenomenon that is happening in this Mother Eart. The goal, is to explicitly interpret the legacy text of the ancestors which is full of symbols so that the wider community can understand why the term ‘Fair Queen of Satria Piningit and Crazy Times’is always being discussed when people are experiencing various problems. This paper is also a reinterpretation of several literature sources, one of which is the ‘Serat Kalatidha’ by Raden Ngabehi Ranggawarsita. Whereas, Serat Kalatidha are Javanese literary literature which contains social criticism, religious values, kapujanggan traditions, prediction of the future/futurology and the emergence of the Fair Queen Satria Piningit. In the end, The ‘Serat’ that hints at a crazy era has become a popular classic among the wider community. When the expected justice has not fulfilled all components, let alone prolonged social inequality, the Ratu Adil discourse continues to be raised. In fact, even that legendary term is only a descriptions of the times felt by the community with the hope of a leader who is just, wise, and more pro-people.

    CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION A. Background Islam is a perfect and comprehensive religion because it has the basic frame work of human life 1. As ad-dīn, Islam has two dimensions, namely a set of belief (aq īdah) 2 and as something practiced (syar ī’ah) 3. Aq īdah is a belief in God and the basis of life for Muslim completely. Hasan al-Banna interprets aq īdah as something must be justify either in heart or soul, and thus brings a peaceful in heart. Meanwhile, faith is a strong reality. It is not involved by doubt and indecision 4. In other words, aq īdah is defined as the truth of belief and someone who believes it certainly has no doubt at all about it. Aq īdah is an inherent aspect of Muslim faith 5. 1 Hasan Baharun,dkk, Metodologi Studi Islam , Ar-Ruzz Media, Yogyakarta, 2011, p. 291 2 Aq īdah come from Arabic language al-aqdu means binding, the lasing, the strong binding aqidah also means al-yaqī>n (belief) and al-jazmu (determining).
